I have two drop downs on top of a visual (rectangle). However the rectangle is set to 'Send to Back'. The issue seems to be
if I/user clicks on the rectangle it hides the drop down which is in front of it. Is there anyway to make it non selectable ?
Thanks
Chris

Hi @Anonymous,
There is no option in Power BI Desktop to make the rectangle non selectable. Once you accidentally select the rectangle, you can press Ctrl-Z to undo the selection.
Meanwhile, you can vote the existing idea that lock out selection of shapes in the following link.
